Police have released CCTV images after two men forced a female shop-assistant into a changing cubicle and demanded money.

The incident happened at Ross and Co women's clothing shop in Muswell Hill on Monday October 8.

While the suspects were still in the shop a woman walked in and paid them cash for a scarf, not realising a robbery was being carried out.

No weapon was used and the victim was not injured but was left very shaken up by the incident.

The suspects left in the direction of Fortis Green holding a green ladies holdall taken from the shop, a small amount of cash from the till and the shop-assistant's cigarettes.

The suspects are both described as being black men, aged about 23 years and approximately 6ft tall.

One of the suspects was wearing a distinctive multi-coloured jacket and the other was wearing a green three-quarter length jacket with a hood.

Detective Constable John Martin, Haringey CID, said: "If you recognise the men in the pictures or saw these men on Monday 8 October at around midday onwards, please contact police.

"I also am very keen to speak with the lady that came into the shop and paid the suspects for a scarf that she bought. She wasn't given a receipt and later returned to the shop to get one. If this was you, please contact police so that we can further our investigation."

Anyone that recognises the men in the images or has any information is asked to contact DC Martin of Haringey CID on 020 8345 0712. Alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
